5 What is Mail for Exchange? With Mail for Exchange, you can access the , calendar, contacts (address book), and tasks of your Microsoft Exchange account on your mobile device. Keeping the entries on your mobile device updated with the entries on your Exchange account is possible through the process of synchronization. You need an Exchange account and your Exchange administrator must have enabled your account for synchronization. Contact your administrator or account provider for details. Note: You can also install the standalone Company directory application instead of Mail for Exchange. With Company directory, you can search for contacts within the company directory. The same search function is included in Mail for Exchange as well. You cannot send Mail for Exchange with the standalone Company directory. What is synchronization?

Simultaneous use of other methods may cause data loss, duplication, or corruption. Also, note that the correct Mail for Exchange installation file depends on your device model. If you try to install a file that is not compatible with your device, you will receive the following error message: The Mail for Exchange software you are trying to install is not compatible with this device. Check for a compatible version at Installing from internet You may have received an installation package on a CD or other media, but you can get the most up to date version from the following location: Use your device's browser to go to the web page and fill in the requested information. You can then download Mail for Exchange. After the download, installation will start automatically. Installing from CD or other media You may receive the installation file on a CD or other media included with the device you purchased, or it may be downloaded via browser or your PC. You need an installation file named MailForExchange_x.y.z.sis(x). The name of the file may vary. For example, the version number (x.y.z) or the extension (.sisx) may be different. To install Mail for Exchange on your device you must: 1 Copy the installation file onto your mobile device, for example: If you downloaded the installation file to your computer: Copy the installation file from your computer onto your mobile device or memory card by using a USB cable, Bluetooth, Nokia PC Suite, or infrared file transfer.

28 Troubleshooting Unsupported device. This device is not supported by the version of Mail for Exchange currently on your mobile device. Disk full. Unable to process sync request. Contact your Microsoft Exchange server system administrator. Resynchronizing content A full resynchronization removes the content you have synchronized to the device. The current content of your account on the Microsoft Exchange server replaces the previous content. Resynchronization is recommended only when you need to reset large amounts of data on your device. To perform a full resynchronization, select Options > Full Resync. Note: You will lose data that has been created or changed on the device since the last successful synchronization. When you have selected calendar or contacts for synchronization in the profile, and you perform a full resynchronization, the initial synchronization settings for these items are set to Delete items on phone. When you have selected for synchronization in the profile, resynchronization resets the messages to how they originally came from the server. In other words, expanded messages are truncated and attachments you have downloaded from s, but have not yet saved, are removed from your mobile device. Troubleshooting logs When diagnosing a problem with your account, your system administrator might ask to see the Mail for Exchange administrative logs, which contain a few days' history of Mail for Exchange activity. To access the administrative files (admin_logn.txt), go to the File manager application on your device. The files exist in the \Mail for Exchange directory. You can view the files with any text viewer, such as Notes. Improving battery life When you use the Always on setting to stay up to date with , it reduces battery life. This cannot be completely avoided, but there are some items, such as access point proxy and heartbeat interval settings, to check to improve battery life. Checking access point proxy settings Verify that your access point is not using a proxy. When you use the Always on setting, the GPRS activity indicator should indicate a connection all the time. If the indicator shows your device disconnecting and reconnecting every few minutes, this reduces battery life. 28

29 To check your access point proxy settings, do the following: 1 Go to your device's access point settings (not Mail for Exchange settings). 2 Make a new access point based on the access point being used with Mail for Exchange. 3 Select Options > Advanced settings. There should be two proxy settings. Delete the values in both settings and save the new access point. 4 Set Mail for Exchange to use the new access point. If you cannot connect, you may need to contact your provider to get a more appropriate plan or see if there is another access point available under your current plan that does not use a proxy. Setting heartbeat interval The Mail for Exchange setting Heartbeat interval affects battery life and connectivity. The setting applies to Always on connections. A higher heartbeat interval improves battery life. However, a heartbeat interval that is too high may lead to getting disconnected for a few minutes every hour. The ideal heartbeat interval depends on a variety of factors including Exchange server configuration, network conditions, and network configuration. The heartbeat interval value that you set for your device is used as a starting point. Normally you can leave the default value as is. Mail for Exchange will monitor the connection and determine the best setting for your current environment. If you start with a value that is too high, you may notice connection problems until Mail for Exchange determines a proper heartbeat interval. View the Heartbeat interval setting to check your current heartbeat interval. If your determined heartbeat interval is consistently low (1-5 minutes), consider contacting your account provider for different connection settings, removing the proxy from your access point, or notifying your system administrator.
